Ran out of Cerelle

[HettyMeg]

I've messed up - thought I had more packs of Cerelle but took last pill in last packet before I realised had no more. Is it like the combined pill where you can have a week off? I've always taken a new pack straight after the old one, but I'm relatively new to the mini pill.

I’m on Cerelle. You have to take them every day otherwise they won’t be effective. Can you cal your GP to get a script sent to a pharmacy for you to pick up? I’m not sure how it works where you are. I order mine 6 months at a time from Superdrug.

I think you can take a pill up to 12 hours late and still be ok.

I used to be on that and took it without a break, I used to order it from Superdrug online because I couldn't be arsed try and navigate my GP for a repeat.
Its ok to take a break but you could get a period and it might be heavy PLUS you will of course need to take other precautions if having sex.
You may be able to get an emergency supply if you call your GP but possibly not today, you will then need to start from scratch with it if you ahve had a couple of days off.
Shame you aren't near me, I have a couple of unopened packs you could have

You can actually get it from a pharmacy now without a prescription
I've just got 6 months worth of cerazette from boots
Not sure how well known this is , I was told by the receptionist at the doctors.
